Taco Bell: Where's the Beef?!?



Do you like Taco Bell? Would you eat at Taco Bell even if you knew the beef was not really beef? Why or why not? Do you think the lawsuit claiming false advertising will hurt Taco Bell's business? Why or why not?

I love Taco Bell! I have heard of the issue that Taco Bell does not use real beef but it does not really bother me. As long as the substitue that they use tastes nearly the same I am not going to worry about the processing method. I do not really think that the lawsuit claiming the false advertising will hurt the business of Taco Bell. Many people love the food and I do not think that this one issue will be their turning point. Many fast food places do not use real meats, so what is the difference? Food is food and if it tastes good i'm going to eat it :)

I personally like taco bell. Even if it was not real meat I would still probably go because apparently whatever they are using is not hurting anyone. The lawsuit probably will affect some of taco bells business because people will be grossed out.

Sarah says...When I go to Taco Bell, I don't get anything with beef in it so this doesn't really affect me. These days, no food product is genuinely real food. It's usually processed unless it's organic. I don't think this lawsuit will hurt Taco Bell because people only care about what tastes good.

Matt: Of course I will still eat at Taco Bell. We eat at Taco Bell, to fill our bellies for as little as 3$, not to eat healthy. If we were trying to do that, we wouldn't be eating Taco Bell in the first place.

Kristin says... I'm in love with taco bell! I don't care what they're feeding me, it's good! Taco Bell's delicious, if people have a problem with the beef then they shouldn't eat it. Nothing could hurt Taco Bell's business because people don't care about what they're actually eating.

Chris says…To be honest Taco Bell is one of my favorite restaurants. I really don’t care if what I’m Eating is really not beef it’s still good and I’m still going to eat it. I don’t think the Lawsuit will go against them cause people will still buy from taco Bell and eat their food.

Madi says... I really don't even care because I love taco bell! It is so good, and it doesn't change the fact that I will go there and eat. When I think about it, it is a little gross that is doesn't meet the requirements. I don't think that the lawsuit claiming false advertising will hurt Taco Bell because if everyone thinks the way I do then they won't lose any customers!

I think the false advertisement will not hurt taco bells business because people don’t care if it was just not all beef the food is still good and I think only if it was hurting or making people sick would they actually care.

I eat at Taco Bell. If you expect it to be the height of fine dining, you are mistaken. In many ways you get what you pay for. That is, inexpensive "food" that fills your stomach and cures your hunger.

Tee- I personally love Taco Bell. Even though I know that their food isn't the best "health-wise", it is still incredibly tasty. I am not swayed to eat less of it in the least by all of these lawsuits. I think a lot of people may complain, but the Taco Bell business will still stay afloat.

I like Taco Bell but I dont eat thier very much. Some of their food is good, but most of it is not very good. If i had to choose between Burger King everyday or Taco Bell I would pick Burger King because their food is way better than Taco Bell. But that's just my opinion.

LaKendra says... I LOVE TACO BELL ! Their food is great and I don't think that I would stop eating their food even if it is not real beef. This may cause some other people to stop eating it though because some people might not feel comfortable with it. But most people probably won't care because they aren't really concerned with how healthy it is, just how it tastes.

Ashley says... I love Taco Bell. I think it's a good fastfood place. I will still go to Taco Bell. It's not bothering or hurting anyone. I mean you get what you order and if people don't like it they dont have to go back. I don't think it will affect a lot of business. Some places it might, I guess it depends on the people. But I dont think they have anything to worry about. If it was bothering so many people they would have said soemthing a long time ago!

Ernie says... Yes I will still eat at Taco Bell. The food they prepare and that I eat taste good. I do not care what the beef is made from, it has not killed me yet. So untill it does I will keep eating it.

Thomas Farrar: I don't think that this announcement will hurt Taco Bell's bottom line. If you are eating Taco Bell, you probably aren't to concerned with what it is made of, let alone the health ramifications of eating it. I think at some level, everyone assumes that Taco Bell isn't real food.

Yes, I like Taco Bell. I don't usually eat at there, but it doesn't really matter to me if the beef is real or not. It probably will hurt Taco Bell's business because it will probably change the minds of the people who eat there.

I used to love Taco Bell. After past events, however, I have grown to hate everything about Taco Bell. I don't care about the false advertising. In my opinion, the only thing that matters is how unhealthy it is (Not the too many calories kind, but the bacteria, bug parts, and other poisons kind). Cutting down on how much you spend on meat is one thing, but they might as well be scraping it from the rotting corpse of a cow. It's just that bad. Taco Bell is going to pay financially for the stupidity they have tied into their business.

I love food from Taco Bell, it is absolutely delicious. The food isn’t the right taste to be beef, but I still eat it; what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. I really don’t know what the difference will be if they use real beef, either way after you eat Taco Bell it’s coming out from the other end soon. Taco Bell is delicious I don’t care what is in the food mixture; as long as it doesn’t kill me I’m happy. If you think the beef thing is bad, the FDA allows companies to have a certain amount of insect parts within a product before being fined. Either way I’ll still take my Five buck box with a side of Pepto-Bismol.

I like Taco Bell at times, However i get agrevated because my mother and sister want it all the time. I have always eaten Taco Bell even knowing that it was not really beef. I knew that from my mom that use to work at Taco Bell. I feel that this lawsuuit will not hurt Taco Bell, because alot of fast food places dont realy sell what they advertise. Either way alot of people still eat there if its good then they will always have buiness.

I so freaking love Taco Bell. If I could I would eat there everyday. I can say that I would stop eating their food if something was wrong wit the meat. I say that because that's my health that I'm dealing with. Eventually it will hurt Taco Bell if a lawsuit was to pursue.
